What is a CAS?

Perhaps you’ve heard the term CAS and are wondering how a CAS could help you with your day-to-day tasks. We’re happy to explain. In fact, we’ve created the following video that describes CAS and its benefits.

Liaison’s Centralized Application Service (CAS) is a cloud-based student admissions solution that can help you optimize your application and enrollment processes. Associations offer CAS to member schools and programs as a way to help advance their professions and support admissions efforts.

What can a CAS offer you? More data to help you identify best-fit students for your programs and more time to reach out to and engage those students so that you can ensure their enrollment.

Through the association’s CAS, your programs have access to state-of-the-art admissions management software and services that allow you to reduce the amount of time you spend on tedious administrative tasks.

Here’s how CAS addresses the needs of all participants in the admissions process:

Administrators can use a CAS to reach a larger pool of prospective applicants, securely access application data to target and diversify applicant pools, and conduct trend analysis for forecasting and benchmarking.

Prospective students can log into a CAS to complete a single online application that lets them apply to multiple programs, easily upload documents, and closely track their progress and status.

Evaluators can complete references, upload letters, and address any program-specific questions—all in a secure, online environment.

Associations can serve members better by supporting the admissions process, gaining insight into critical industry trends, and improving outreach to potential new members.

With a CAS, you can market your school nationally, go paperless, and deliver a better applicant experience with dedicated customer service and an intuitive online application.

More than 5,000 programs have already adopted a CAS. Why not join them?
